we checked in early on a friday (in november), we were the only car in the parking lot, and were checked in a room with a great view of the street. we asked the frt. desk about moving rooms he advised us the rooms were a blind draw and whst you get is what you get. he did say there were water view rooms available but he wouldnt switch us. after all that my daughter turned the shower on and the tub wouldnt drain, also the was a large hunk of something in our bathroom sink, i think it was mold. the female night manager, was even worse, we had a large group of people and yes there were kids which in my opinion were well behaved. she told us at check out that our group of kid (13 year old boys) were terrible and misbehaved. im not sure why she had no complaints to any of the parents while we were staying. my advise to the consumer is stay anywhere else you can find i'd rather sleep under a picnic table on the beach than give this place my money again. and to the owner, fire your frt. desk staff and hire people who treat you guests as guests and not intruders.

I stayed here for two nights to attend a wedding. I really don't have any major complaints about the stay. The hotel staff was friendly, and the room was clean, comfortable, and quiet. They could probably use an update though; I wasn't really digging the floral wallpaper in the bathroom, and generic bouqet still life prints in the bedroom. Why not add some kind of wine themed, or Great Lakes/nautical themed decor?

I feel like the free breakfast could be improved a little. Powdered eggs make me sad :(.

Good location; it's probably a 15-20 minute walk to the heart of downtown TC, and a short drive to many of the wineries.

I would recommend this hotel to anyone staying in the Traverse City area.

Staff at the front desk was unfriendly at check in. Room smelled musty and I was unable to control the temperature. Room was either hot or freezing. If you are not extremely quiet people who love victorian decor and people who think they are better than you, do not stay here. We frequent the Holiday Inn on Front St. at least 10-12 times per year along with the Cherry Tree Inn and have always been trated like royalty. Will never stay here or recommend this hotel.

Mitch ran the cc four times due to his human error and Eric stood up for him while being rude to my friend and I. The people skills leave much to be desired. The hall smelled like mold. The view was nice and the breakfast was good. But I will not be treated the way I was again.
